Lariat BiIl-The Engineers Story.

Well, stranger, twas somewhere in sixty nine,
were runnin' the Frisco fast express;
An from Murder Creek to Blasted Pine,
We're nigh onto eighteen mile, guess
The road were a down grade all the wav,
An we pulled out of Murder little late,
So opened the throttle wide that day,
An mile minute was bout our gait.
Ny fremans name were Larist Bill,
A quiet man with an easy wav.
Who could rope steer with cowboys skill,
Which he'd learned in Texas, I've heard him
say:
The coil were strarg as tempered steel,
An il went like bolt from crossbow flung,
An srter Bill changed from saddle 10 wheel,
just owe his head in the cab il hung.
We'll. as were saYin'. We fairly flew
As struck the curve at Buffalo Spring,
An give her full steam and put her through,
An the engine rocked like living thing;
When all of a sudden got a scare
For thar on the track were little child!
An right in the path of the engine there
She held ont her little hands and smiled.
II jerktd the lever and whistled for brakes,
The wheels threw sparks Ike 4 shower OF gold
But knew the trouble a down grade makes,
An set my teeth an my flesh grew cold.
Then Lariat Bill yanked his long lassoO,
An out on the front Of the engine crept-
He balanced moment before he threw,
Then out il the air his lariat swept"
He paused. There were tears in his honest eyes;
The stranger listened with bated breath.
Il know the rest Of The tale" he cries;
He snatched the child from the jaws of death
Twas the deed of hero, from heroes bred
Whose praises the very angels sing'
The engineer shook his grizzled head
And growled: He DIDN'T do no such thing.
He aimed at the stump Of 4 big pine tree,
An the lariat caught with double hitch,

The Girl of Today.

If there is anything we know less about
than we think we do, it is the girl; and
yet neighboring journalist succeeds i'll
this manner to analyze the characteristic
of the girl of today:
From the time she is big enough to
swing on the gate or tie ribbon in a
double bowknot she begins to locate a
sweetheart, and she keeps this up until
he is located in a back yard exercising
his talents diSsecting stove wood.
She may be little dull on mathematics,
but invariably solves the problem of put
ting a No. foot 10 a No. shoe
She will wear out two old dresses runs

She will nave her face powdered and
painted too nice for anything, ald have Il

dress.
She may have dress that is fautless.

She will talk with you two hours with

Cowboy Hospitality.

From the Cosmopolitan
One hot afternoon, as we were APP
preaching Big Dry Creek. a cowboy sud-
denly rode in sight On the crest of ridge
and came down the slope toward US at d
swinging gallop. He sat as erect as a
bronze statue, and. had he been dashed to
his horse like another MiZeppa, he could
not have sat more perfectly motonless

ened up our tired shoulders and sat erect
also. Evidently he wanted to speak 10
US. So We rode forward to meet him.

would be agreeable or irritating.
After We had civilly exchanged how

any horses since morning. He had los
some. and up to that time, O'Clock, had
ridden about twenty-five miles in search
of them. No, we had not seen any
horses. So we fell to asking question.

The Rapidity Of Progress Toward HeaI,r

however salutary. Taken in proper
doses at prescribed intervals, a reliable
curative will effect tine object of its use.
Among remedies which. Systematically
and persistently used. accomplish thor
